iPhone works just fine. And if people would learn to use cloud based storage for their pics and such they would have plenty of room on their phone for day to day use. Cloud servers are reliable storage venues for your photos. Clear up available memory on phone by using it

Our hearing aids are connected to our Android phones, via blue-tooth. You won't need wi-fi for controlling the hearing aids. It's wonderful to be able to turn the volume up or down in restaurants, listening to radio in car, watching TV, or camping in remote places.

So my questions are, do I need a data plan for hearing aid control or calling via wifi and can I do it from a tablet?
the hearing aid connection is most likely Blu-Tooth
you can make a call via wifi, provided the phone supports that feature and has an APP for that,
in which case it uses a special IP address and connection protocol all transparent to the you
BUT to try this with your tablet, you will need your own internet phone account, and possibly some additional hardware plugged into the tablet
this is called VoIP "voice over Internet Protocol"
services like Majic Jack use this
